HIC & ILLE & ISTE Demonstrative Pronouns & Adjectives
• A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun or another pronoun.
A demonstrative is used to single out one or more nouns referred to in the sentence. This, that, these, and those are demonstratives. These mountains are high. The word "these" is a demonstrative adjective because it is modifying “mountains”.
Pronoun vs. Adjectives • Hic and ille can be either a pronoun or adjective – how do I tell the difference? – Keep the grammatical usage in mind • If the form of hic or ille modifies a noun, it is an adjective – For example: hic poeta = this poet • If the form of hic or ille stands alone, it is a pronoun – For example: Ubi est ille? = Where is that [man]? – N. B. Since ille is masculine gender, you can assume it means “that man”, but since the word “vir is understood, ille is a pronoun.
Why do I care if it is a pronoun or adjective? so you will can determine: • case • number • gender
If it is an adjective…. [most common usage] Since adjectives modify nouns, if it is an adjective, it will agree with the noun it modifies. example: I see that girl. Puellam illam video. “That” modifies “girl” which is a direct object = acc. s. f. so the adjective will also be acc. s. f.
If it is a pronoun…. …the demonstrative can usually be translated according to its gender, number, and context. Example: ille = that man illa = that woman illud = that thing
